Homemade Re Fried Beans With Homemade Fajita Seasoning

This recipe is my husband’s creation. Like I’ve said before, he’s more the fan of tex-mex food than I am. I mean, I like it as long as it is not too spicy. He loves to load on the hot sauce. 🙂 Most canned re-fried beans have that gross metallic aftertaste as only canned products do not to mention preservatives to keep it shelf-stable. This homemade refried bean recipe is far tastier and better for you!

In addition to this yummy recipe, he also created a homemade fajita seasoning. If you didn’t know (I didn’t until recently), most store bought spice mixes contain MSG. Yuck! It is pretty easy (and much cheaper), to make your own. If you are interested in his other recipes, click here and here. This would go great with my Homemade Tortilla Chips!

First… I love that your husband is involved. That’s awesome!
Second… I always make my own refried beans from canned pinto beans.
Third… Mine have never tasted this good!!!!
THANK YOU! Great recipe. I also saved the fajita seasoning recipe. My grandmother and I are allergic to MSG so we have to check things for it.

Hi! Black beans work GREAT! They taste amazing as refried beans. In fact my kids enjoy them more than pinto’s. We like to add fresh cilantro to our beans or even dried if fresh isn’t available. Also, I always wished there were posts with some spice and more flavors so I excitingly request that your husband add some more flavorful and spicy recipes (with and/or without heat) I enjoy his added ideas for dinner. I am so excited to find a homemade fajita “mix.” Does he know how to tweek it for more of a taco seasoning? My son loves tofu and I want to chop some up with a taco seasoning (similar to how chipotle does their sofritas) Please tell him thank you so much too. You guys are a great pair on this blog.

Good to know about the black beans. I will ask him about the taco seasoning and tell him that you enjoy his ideas and input. He will be very pleased. I think he really does put his heart into the dishes he creates. I will ask him to do a few more. 🙂
